Why it's worth checking out
The USS Peary Memorial sits in Bicentennial Park at Larrakeyah, on the Darwin foreshore in the Northern Territory. With 79 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a well-regarded landmark.
The appeal is a meaningful place of remembrance — a memorial honouring the USS Peary and those lost in the WWII bombing of Darwin, set in the lovely Bicentennial Park overlooking the harbour, a genuine spot for quiet reflection and paying respects, as well as taking in the views. Its location makes it a worthwhile stop.
